Well done, Yvonne. FFFROMROMROM THETHETHE RRREGISTERSEGISTERSEGISTERS th BAPTISMBAPTISMBAPTISM On Sunday, 7 of August, Rebecca and Mark Curtis came to the Family Service at Litton Cheney to give thanks for their daughter KKKITTYITTYITTY BBBEAEAEA CCCURTISURTISURTIS, and to give her to God in Baptism. The church was comfortably filled with family and friends, as well as church regulars and some holiday makers, as we joyfully celebrated in worship. It was appropriate that, on this Feast of the Transfiguarion of Our Lord, we thought not only about Christ's transfiguration, but our on-going transformation into the likeness of Christ - something that starts, as with Kitty, at our christening. Kitty was happy throughout the service, even when annointed with oil, but didn't like it when the water was poured on her. Her older brother, Henry, was pleased to help Ryder by holding Kitty's candle (which was symbolically lit from his own christening candle that was lit from the pascal candle) as we prayed for him to be a help to Kitty in her growth into Christ. Just about everyone stayed afterward for coffee that was served by the ladies of the church.

It was not just an inaugural AGM but, much more, significantly the first presentation of Watchkeeper Certificates to a dozen former trainees who had attended intensive training sessions since the station first opened on 31st July 2010. The Watchkeepers Certificates were presented by NCI Patron Sir Christopher Coville (who also chairs the NCI Lyme Bay Steering Group) and included awards to the first two ladies to qualify as Watchkeepers, Rosemary Lyth and Claire Reeves. Amongst the other recipients was a retired Air-Sea Rescue Service pilot, Ralph Probert. During the evening Sir Christopher Coville was delighted to accept a donation of CB Radios from Brenda Oliver, Chair of The Puncknowle Fundraisers . These will improve the station’s communications facility, and enable them to do far more radio operator training sessions. NCI Lyme Bay now has some 25 qualified watchkeepers, and a further dozen or so trainees who are expected to qualify in the next six months, and this is enough for the station to operate somewhat longer hours this summer, from 9.00am to 8.00pm every week-end and bank holidays, but not yet enough to enable them to keep watch during the week, which would require at least a further dozen fully trained watchkeepers. Station Manager Clive Edwards, Sir Christopher Coville and local NCI Trustee Trevor Craven, all urged everyone present to do their level best to recruit more volunteers so as to have Brenda Oliver presents the CB sufficient trained watchkeepers to man the station Radios funded by Puncknowle seven days a week by the time of the Olympics. Fundraisers 5 Anyone interested in becoming a watchkeeper should contact Graeme Gemmill, the NCI Lyme Bay Operations Manager, on 01308 482178, or Deputy Station Manager William Knapman. The formal proceedings were followed by a Bar B Q in the grounds of Litton Cheney Hall. Trainees receiving Watchkeeper's Certificates this were Rosemary Lyth from West Bexington, Clare Reeves from Charmouth, Ralph Probert from Bridport, Keith Beattie from Martock, Bob Martin from Charmouth, Peter Merrick from Martinstown, Ross Wallace from Puncknowle, Michael Sheehan from Bridport, Graeme Gemmill from Litton Cheney, Graham Hallewell from Burton Bradstock, John Rowlands from Litton Cheney, Alan Lake from Bridport, and former KLM airline pilot Felicity Bush from Dorchester. BURTON BRADSTOCK W I. We hope our members have enjoyed a cool, but sometimes sunny August. Many were involved in having stalls, making cakes in the many fetes and garden parties around our area and many had visits from families, or were away with families. Times to treasure even if exhausting! We all meet again for our September meeting on Tuesday 13th September at 7.15pm in the WI Hall, when our speaker will be Mrs. Damaris Graham on "Hunting for Teulon" the rogue Victorian architect. Well that sounds like something different! The groups will all meet as usual from September, please check the Board for a note of timings and venues. Just a reminder that for September only, and before our meeting, the Reading group, Burton Browsers will meet on September 9th at Blegberry, West Bexington at 3.00pm. We have brought it forward as almost half the group were going to be away at the end of September. The Walking group, Mahjong, Embroidery and other groups will have their dates on the board as above.
